The Dean Galway

The property was very nice. A little further from town than I wished especially when it’s raining. The staff was awesome. I loved the gym. It was a great break in the trip. The food, the service and the views from Sophie’s. Cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. I will definitely stay at The Dean if I ever go back to Galway.

Our stay was wonderful— the food at both restaurants was fantastic, as well as the pool and sauna.

The Dean hotel has no parking or set down area. You need to park in a multi story carpark nearby. However when I returned to collect our luggage which was inside front door, I had to park across the road in a side street. In the one minute it took to collect the luggage, I received a parking fine for €150.. This was very annoying and I complained about no set down area.

This was such a cool hotel! I would describe the style like a futuristic 50s vibe. Multiple bars, a beautiful rooftop restaurant, friendly and professional staff, great gym, I mean, we just wanted to hang out at the hotel. The room was perfectly sized, there was a minibar, the bed was so comfy. Location was great also, not center center, but like 5 minutes away walking. The bus and train stations are super close also. Loved it!

Clean room conveniently located. Decent breakfast

The room was really pretty and the ceilings pleasantly high

The hotel in general gave me the feel of a glorified hostel

This is a beautiful hotel! We had a large two room suite for three people. Plenty of space. It was quiet and lovely. Nice balcony. The restaurant has a cool view, food was tasty. We didn’t get to use any of the amenities since we only stayed one night. The location is perfect. Loved Galway!! Would recommend and will definitely stay again!

Excellent hotel. Food is very good. The pool area was very nice. The hotel is beautifully maintained.

Ein perfekter Aufenthalt mit tollem gym

No on sight parking. Street parking (if you find it) or public parking 10 minutes away. That was my primary issue. If that doesn’t bother you, everything else was nice. About 7 minute walk to shops and restaurants.

Outdoor pool and facilities were great

Very small room. No baggage services. No iron or hair dryer. Hi priced room snacks were ancient. Overflowing shower drain.

Loved this hotel. We stayed during the heat wave and were very grateful for the air conditioning in the rooms! The outdoor pool was lovely. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

The Dean Galway was the highlight of my trip and one of the best hotel experiences I've had in a long time. The standout feature was undoubtedly the pool and wellness area. I happened to visit during one of the warmest weeks of July and made full use of the pool, sauna, and cold plunge several times a day. Not only were these facilities practical and refreshing, but the entire area was beautifully designed and felt like a genuine luxury retreat. The hotel's design is exceptional throughout. The room was stylish, modern, and thoughtfully designed, and I was fortunate enough to receive a room with a balcony overlooking the pool area. Waking up to that view each morning felt incredibly luxurious and added so much to the overall experience. What truly sets The Dean apart, however, is its people. Every member of staff I encountered was warm, welcoming, and professional, from the reception team and lobby bar staff to the wellness area team and restaurant staff. It genuinely felt like everyone cared about ensuring guests had a great stay. The breakfast was also a highlight. There was a good selection, the quality was excellent, and the staff made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The location is another major advantage, with Galway's city centre, train station, restaurants, pubs, and attractions all within easy walking distance.Special credit goes to the staff, whose friendliness and professionalism elevated an already fantastic hotel into a truly memorable stay.

Lovely hotel. Great location and the rooftop restaurant was very nice. On the pricey side but with a Saturday night in the summer maybe to be expected!

The location, amenities and aesthetic of the hotel were impeccable. Would stay again!

Great hotel, probably the best one in Galway. Bar, lounge and restaurant were excellent and the gym/sauna/hot tub are major highlights. Easy walking to everywhere in town. One tip: don’t book smaller than the Double room. Even that size is pretty snug.

I’ve stayed at this property previously, and I was thrilled to stay again. The rooms, although not extremely spacious, are lovely and clean and the staff is kind. I look forward to staying here again!

Amazing!
